We manufactured some PC-based USB tokens, with NF capability, about 6 weeks
ago. The entire run was bought up by a single party, but they are
distributing the token in a developer kit form - as a means of introducing
folks to their contactless token management system services, for certain
mass-commuter environments. So, I can direct you, if you want.

>From wandering around the cardtech/securetech conference this week, and
seeing so much powerpoint rubbish on NF capabilities (not actually) in
product, I suspect we are the only third party to have ever actually built a
run of a working NF device suited to the PC! So. Get them while they are
hot! The world supply is about 200 in the foreseeable future, due to various
high-tolerance component supply problem issues.

It looks like a Bluetooth dongle, though a little bigger to address the NF
antenna design issues.
